Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many teachers in London were no longer teaching within (a) three, (b) five and (c) 10 years of qualifying.
Answered by Nick Gibb
The information requested is not available in the format requested.
The retention rates for qualified teachers in England who began their employment in each of the last ten years was published in Table 8 of the ‘School Workforce in England: November 2016’ in June 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/school-workforce-in-england-november-2016.
Regional versions of these statistics are not available.
The Department has published information at regional level on the percentage of teachers who leave each year. These statistics were published in tables 2.1a and 2.1b in the ‘Local analysis of teacher workforce: 2010 to 2015’:

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding the European Social Fund has contributed to adult education projects in each region in the last year.
Answered by Anne Milton
The European Social Fund is allocated to the Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).
The Education and Skills Funding Agency offers LEPs the service of procuring and managing European Social Fund contracts which deliver education and training on behalf of the LEPs.
The table below aggregates the LEP area expenditure into regions. A more detailed breakdown by LEP area is in the attached spreadsheet.
Region | ESF Paid to Providers in Academic Year | Total ESF Contracted with Providers Apr-16 to July-18 |
East Midlands | £7.27 | £50.39 |
East of England | £3.40 | £18.85 |
London | £28.86 | £82.19 |
North East | £10.83 | £46.86 |
North West | £13.75 | £84.37 |
South East | £4.78 | £32.07 |
South West | £5.72 | £39.45 |
West Midlands | £5.86 | £45.70 |
Yorkshire and The Humber | £5.53 | £42.10 |
Grand Total | £86.01 | £441.97 |
Figures rounded to the nearest £10,000.
The Big Lottery Fund and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are also organisations with which LEPs can agree to deliver other projects eligible for European Social Fund. Additionally, Her Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service delivers European Social Fund projects. Other organisations may make direct bids to deliver European Social Fund to the European Social Fund Managing Authority (which is part of the DWP).

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish a list of all the approved adult education budget providers which deliver in London but are not located in London; and what estimate she has made of the number of learners that live in London for which those providers delivered teaching in 2015-16.
Answered by Anne Milton
The information requested about approved adult education providers is contained within the attached file. This dataset includes a list of providers who have delivered to residents of London, where the providers head office address is not in London.
We do not hold the specific data requested on the number of learners for the 2015/16 academic year. The department has previously published figures on learning aims delivered to individuals living in each local authority by provider, qualification level and type of provision, which are accessible via the links below.
The latest published data for the 2013/14 academic year can be viewed via: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/524139/Delivery_LA_Provider_LA_Level_1314_FS_Final_v2.xls.
The latest published data for the 2012/13 academic year can be viewed via: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/349330/Jan14_Learners_Home_Local_Authority_District_Provider_Level_1213.zip.
The figures highlight the proportion of provision delivered within the authority of where the learner lives and the proportion delivered outside the authority.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to prevent private providers operating as bogus colleges.
Answered by Anne Milton
Further education (FE) providers receiving public funds are monitored by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and placed on a register for funded organisations. Ofsted only provide inspections for established FE institutions. Individuals wishing to cross-reference a course or provider that is nationally recognised can visit the National Careers Service website: https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/course-directory/home.
The ESFA will investigate complaints of bogus educational institutions. Those concerned about a particular organisation can also register their complaint with the Citizens Advice and Trading Standards.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many young people are or have been in care were unemployed (a) nationally and (b) in London in each of the last five years.
Answered by Robert Goodwill
I am sorry, but the department does not collect data on young people who are in care and who are unemployed.
For care leavers, the department collects information on their activity on or around their birthday, which includes whether they were not in education, training or employment.
Due to changes in the cohort for whom data was collected, figures for 19 to 21 year olds are available from the year ending 31 March 2014. Information on care leavers aged 17 and 18 years old was collected for the first time for the year ending 31 March 2016 and is published as experimental statistics.
Figures are provided in the table below.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many learners funded through the Adult Community Learning budget studied (a) English, (b) mathematics and (c) ESOL courses in (i) the UK and (ii) London in the last 12 months.
Answered by Anne Milton
We do not hold information on English, mathematics and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses funded through the Adult Community Learning budget. In addition, since 2016/17 this provision is funded through the Adult Education Budget.
Across wider adult education budget lines, data on funded learner participation in English, mathematics and ESOL courses are published for England and London.
The latest published adult (19 and over) participation figures for England (provisional full year data for the 2016/17 academic year) are as follows:
Note: we do not hold data for the UK.
The latest published adult (19 and over) participation figures for London (final full year data for the 2015/16 academic year) are as follows:
Participation in Community learning is recorded by theme rather than specific subject. Latest published figures for England are:
Community Learning Participation | 2016/17 (provisional) |
Total Learners | 531,800 |
of which Personal and Community Development Learning | 414,400 |
of which Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities | 48,600 |
of which Family English, Maths and Language | 32,700 |
of which Wider Family Learning | 52,600 |
Figures for London are not published. Participation figures provide the distinct count of learners; a learner can participate in multiple types of learning, but will only be counted once in the overall total learner figures.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many (a) intermediate level, (b) advanced level and (c) higher apprenticeship and starts there were in London in quarter four (i) 2015-16 and (ii) 2016-17 by age group.
Answered by Anne Milton
Apprenticeship starts in London are provided in the attached table for quarter 4 and the corresponding full year figures for 2015/16 and 2016/17. Care should be taken when comparing final data with provisional data, which will not be finalised until providers submit their final returns for the year. Final 2016/17 figures will be published on 23 November 2017.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what 50 institutions or providers have the best post-16 catch-up rates in (a) English and (b) mathematics in England; and in which local authority area each of those institutions and providers are located.
Answered by Anne Milton
The request has been interpreted as students who are included in the English and maths progress measure. This reports on students who did not achieve A*-C at GCSE or equivalent in English and maths by the end of key stage 4. These students are required to continue studying GCSE English and maths, or other equivalent qualifications from 16 to 18. The measure shows how much progress students have made by looking at the average change in grade.
The latest information available for the academic year 2015/16 is published in the data tables for ‘All schools and colleges in England’ on the 16-18 performance tables’[1]. The English and maths progress measure can be found in the ’16 to 18 performance’ section. The underlying data for both institution level and local council can be found in the ‘Download data for all of England or a local authority’[2].
